Talk:David Paich

Untitled
The section mentioning Paich is still writing for Toto was obviously written before the break up. I don't feel adequate enough in the wiki ways to correct this, but if someone would take the time to do so..

Of Croatian descent?
The current edit of this article describes Paich as being of Croatian descent. This might be correct ... or possibly not. There are a number of websites that describe Paich as Croatian, but most are obviously Wiki-mirror sites and none (to my knowledge) are reliably sourced.

The official tribute website for Marty Paich includes an essay by Charles Barber, describing his subject as "Serb and Catholic" by background (http://www.martypaich.com/music.html). Barber worked extensively with Marty Paich and is the curator of the tribute site — which, I trust, makes him a credible source. Whatever is true of Marty Paich on this front would apply to David as well.

The phrase "Serb and Catholic" could raise more questions than answers, and it might imply some ambiguity (if, for instance, the family were from a Croat and/or Bunjevac background in Serbia).

Does anyone have any insight on this point?

For clarity, I don't have a vested interest here — I just want to ensure the information on this page is correct. CJCurrie (talk) 04:16, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

I don't know how to write/edit stuff in wiki, so I'm sorry in advance. I just wanna comfirm that Paich (Paić) is indeed of Croatian descent! Paić is well known Croatian surname in Dalmatian region of Croatia. As a matter of fact, I was watching Toto live in Zagreb in 2018 and Paich did a little storyline and he told this very same information during the concert on the stage, audience went nuts. He said "My grandfather was from Split!" If you don't believe, please check it out on video. You have a proof: "Toto Zagreb 2018: Concert summary incl. a story about Paich and his Croatian roots"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8a12sVQ8yY   Plus, you have many offical sites that holds all checked infos of people of Croatian descent (in USA). I don't think Barber's sentence would be a credible source at all since Paich himself talked already about this and his grandad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.140.155.18 (talk) 00:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
